Match Game

While we were drawing today, I decided to make one of those match games where you draw a line to match the silhouettes to the correct figure. The kids really enjoyed the idea of a drawing game. It took a little concentration too, and they were very proud when they finished. Tess wanted to do it again and again. If you want to try it out, there is a download below.

Very cool, love the drawings. Joel I've been following your blog for a while and after you mentioned the origin of your last name a few posts back, I just had to ask: are you related to Richard Henriquez, the architect in Vancouver? I recall his name spelling changing and he was born in Jamaica. Any relation? Cheers, Julie

You are absolutely amazing! I tried making your pickup game and though mine just looked like bent paper clips (unlike yours) my 3 year old loves it, anyway! He also loves the paper city, but was asking where the trees and tents and campfire were (we take him camping, obviously!). Any chance of making an outdoor section or park to the paper city?

I love that, at your house, you just "decide to make one of those match games" and this is what you bust out. How cool it must be for your kids to have you as their dad. I wish my printer was working, I'd print yours out, perhaps now I will make my own.

Hey Joel,Just wanted to say thank you for your blog. My children spent hours on their paper cities today http://pheasantsfrogsandbananabread.blogspot.com/2010/07/strange-plants-and-paper-cities.html We have also made your marble run.Your blog is perfect for rainy days!

I've just discovered your site and am in love! I have one question, when I printed this matching game it cut off the bottom of the images. Any tips on how to get it printed fully? My 3yo is insanely intelligent and this is perfect for him! Thanks!
